The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
Initialized 'ptr' for a newly instantiated varstring field.
This is required by INSERT DELAYED.
No test case. This is a migration issue. There are two shell
scripts attached to the bug report. They can be used for testing.
test "length" first (otherwise when "length" is 0, the *from invalid access still triggers a Valgrind warning).
I wrote to the Valgrind authors in case this is something fixable in Valgrind (normally the
decision to issue a warning is based on the simulated CPU condition code, which should not be undefined here).
field::sort_key() now adds length last for varbinary/blob
VARBINARY/BLOB is now sorted by filesort so that shorter strings comes before longer ones
Fixed issues in test cases from last merge
new file
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql, mysql_create_system_tables.sh:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing "password" type, not to be 0x00-padding.
Many files:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing tests not to output 0x00 bytes.
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
ctype-bin.c:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
New strnxfrm, with two trailing length bytes.
field.cc:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY.
Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed
Change bool in C code to my_bool
Added to mysqltest --enable_parsning and --disable_parsing to avoid to have to comment parts of tests
Added comparison of LEX_STRING's and use this to compare file types for view and trigger files.
No separate typecode for MEDIUMTEXT/LONGTEXT is added, as we
have no sound decision yet what typecodes and for what types are
sent by the server (aka what constitutes a distinct type in MySQL).
